A 21-year-old Meaford man has been arrested and charged in relation to an arson investigation.
Grey Bruce OPP say detectives from the Major Crime Unit were assigned to investigate a series of fires that occurred in the Municipality of Meaford in 2021 and 2022.
Police have provided limited details about the investigation, but say they arrested Kurtis Galbraith, 21, on Friday, Feb. 3 and charged him with nine counts of arson – damage to property.
The allegations against Galbraith have not been proven in court.
Grey Bruce OPP Const. Nick Wilson says the nine arson charges pertain to nine separate incidents.
He couldn’t accommodate a request for additional information about specific dates and locations of the alleged arson fires in Meaford, as the case is before the courts.
OPP say the accused was remanded into custody following a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Owen Sound.
